 So we're hoping to finish up tonight or less. So what I'm proposing to do, we have Joanne Robinson from the historical commission will start with that budget and then I think we'll do the minutes I think we have three minutes and then we have one budget. And then we have a couple of war and articles to dispose of and then we'll talk about. And I think that that should do it for. All right, so Joanne Robinson tell us. What's your position is on the historical commission and what the historical commission is looking for this budget season and what we we're probably Yes, we do. I'm also pulling them up on the screen behind. Okay, not that that helps you. What's up. Okay. So our current budget is $5,000. But as I have looked at the where we are overall the budget itself and we expect to go over our budget as it shows at the top of about a thousand and two hundred dollars. And I have the actual numbers that we've spent, but they're not complete because of the fact that we have you know we have four more months of paying for our advertisement. The most of our money comes from I mean most of our advertising money and advertising hearings is the highest expense that we actually have. And in addition to that, so where we expect that we will have approximately what we have last year. And you can see the two thousand seven hundred dollars which is probably what we'll have again. We're going with that. I'm kind of hopeful that the warrant article that's proposed to dispel having to advertise it on the published you know document, you know, advocate, I don't know if it's called the advocate anymore. But in any case that would make a big difference in helping out our expenses because we have to advertise everything hearing that we have. And the cost of what that has been doing is higher than what we used to have for the advocate. Our administrative support is usually around two thousand dollars and those are the things that we have that we're paying for this year. But we will be probably going over our estimated total down at the bottom for FY33 is about six thousand dollars. The next year we are working with Mike Champa to sort through our inventory. He's digitizing all of the information about you know how the applications are going to be made. And we're part of that because he's putting us on the application itself. And if our inventory is not right we will have I just feel like we have to do our inventory. We have to go through it and take out all of the information that has been demolished recently. And we have to also go through and add in several pieces of our inventory which are not currently listed. When in the 1970s we had an inventory that was created in the 1970s. And we have to go through it again. And there are very there are some very small little pockets of neighborhoods that were in that inventory which have not been on our list. And we went back to Makris and looked through all of Makris is the historical commission that has been on there. But they're not on our inventory that we propose that we have been using. So we wanted to be sure that our inventory would be correct. And then we want to do and that's something that we're going to do as volunteers. But then we want to be able to advertise or let people know that we're going to be able to do that. And that would probably cost a lot of money to do just that mailing. And we don't have emails for everyone. All we have are addresses and owner's names. Which is why we want to do a mailing for once we have that inventory fixed. We want to be able to send people a brochure and tell them about the historical commission and inform them of their houses. We last year we did a mailing to everyone every real estate agency in Arlington. But that didn't really make a big difference because there's no requirement that the real estate agent who was selling the house tells them that it's a historic house. And so people get blindsided by this. And so we wanted to try to make a difference and to create a small brochure about how it reaches. So the request is for us to get about 2,000 and whatever it is. The difference, but to have our budget request go up to $8,700 to make sure that the inventory is on the applications for work. Doing work on historic houses is listed accurately on, you know, chances. That's the most important thing. And that's why we're asking for at least for this year more money. All right. So you have a $5,000 budget now. And do you, sitting here now, do you expect to have a request next year for $8,700 or do you think this is one timefall? I'm not sure about it to tell you the truth. I mean, if the advertisement goes up, given the fact that we have had more historic houses come before us for a long time, that has been something that's been, I mean, I always, I know that you guys go from 730 to 10, but that's basically what we have. And we have hearings because we have, you know, very complex plans that people present to us and then we have to go through and do continued hearings for those and so it goes on and on and on. And I thought it would be a lot. I've been on the historical commission and I've never had so many applications for the houses. So, you know, but if we get this, you know, if this board article goes through, right, that would make a huge difference. And then it might just be a bump. And do you have any, you're rolling over money from 22 into 23? Yeah, we have a small amount that you, and does that zero out of your balance, do you have any other money to roll over? No, we don't have any money. We wouldn't have, we won't have any more money to roll over. That's the big question. All right. Any other questions that people have? Thank you. Just, we have a lot of new members. I was wondering if you could do a really short description of what the commission does and what we were doing. Oh, sure. I don't know exactly how many properties because we, they're in, there's a little groups that we haven't counted yet. Yeah, it's a lot of them. Yeah. And, you know, we also put on our inventory some of the properties that are owned by the town of Arlington so that we could preserve them and work with them to preserve them too. That was another jump that we had. When do you need to advertise and notify? I'm going to say that now. So if, if anyone comes to us, first of all, if they come to us because they know that their house is on the inventory, we can work with them. And try to understand what their plans are, what they want to do to the house itself. We have jurisdiction over three sides of the house as long as it's not on a corner because it's the area that is visible from a street. But if in fact it's on a corner, we have the back side of it as under our jurisdiction too. And if they are making a change or tearing anything down, but if they make a proposal that is more than 25% of a facade, then we hear, we have a hearing about it and we try to preserve the exterior of the house. And, or if we approve some kind of addition or something like that so that it's compatible with the house itself. If we are asked to do a demolition, we look at the house itself and decide whether or not, I mean, as a group, as a commission, we do it. But we decide whether or not it is worthy of being demoed or not. And if we don't think it is, we have a one year demo delay. And we will work with the owners if we consider that they might listen to us on some aspects of how it could be preserved, then we work through that during the first year. And if that doesn't work, then it does get demoed. And out of those thousand properties, roughly how many, you know, do you need to work with every year? Well, it's kind of, it's very interesting because we, we essentially have about 30, 36 inventory properties last year, this year. And, you know, and that's a lot of properties to, you know, make judgment on and to the control. We also have to monitor the project as it goes on, each commissioner volunteers to monitor the project and watches it. And so that's a lot of work also. My campus has been great about helping us out. He's turning over properties that, you know, have never been on our list. And so we're very happy with looking at him. And he's, he's helpful. He's very helpful about telling us what, what his parameters are, what ours are. Topher, I think you had a question. Yeah. Yeah. Postage and advertising because it's a commission that's. Has to do with meeting regulations. Can we do the postage and advertising within the town? Or do we have to do it all privately? We do it with the published, you know, we advertise it. You know, in, in a newspaper, a local newspaper. So the advocate was always, we have to advertise it at least two weeks before the hearing was happening. And then we talk with the neighbors, you know, we, we inform neighbors about, you know, the hearings too, but they don't generally come to this. Do you, do you also advertise within some of the online sites? We advertise it on the town calendar. Okay. And we put it, you know, we have to advertise it up for the clerk's office, you know, boat and board outside of the clerk's office. So those are the advertisements. So just to clarify, these are for historically significant profit is not for the historic district. This is historically. Yeah, the long. Okay. Got it. And how many, like how common is it for someone not to realize that they have historically significant and then go for, say, a major renovation and discover it later? Is that. And that does happen. Yeah. And people, people think that if. Sometimes they think that if they've talked with us, they don't have to apply for a billing permit. And then we just started that. And then we have to go back and fix that. And we've been working very closely with. We're working with the, the, the, the, the online. You know, they know. And that one is. You know, something that is. Because it's still there. And so that, that, I feel like. You've made a, you know, At least that got some publicity and people understood. I hope. As to what it was, why it was an important place and what it happened. So, but we do have, you know, things like that and we usually work with Mike, if there's some kind of a fun. You know, we would, we would actually figure out what they might have to pay, you know, there's, there's always a consequence for not doing, you know, the right thing. And so we have to work that out. So in our discussions with other town departments that also have advertising and legal advertisements to do, for example, the perks office, we were told they were able to reduce their costs by somehow reducing the language and working with, I've done that. Okay, so you've done that. I have squished it down. We used to have, we used to have, you know, why, why we were having the hearing and I say why we're having the hearing anymore because it takes too much space. And, you know, just, it just is, it's just kind of a squished way that we advertise now. Thank you. Yeah. All right. Well, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate your. Here. Here. Yes. Okay. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you. Minutes. We have two sets of minutes. So, no, just last Wednesday and last Monday. Yes. So, let's start with the mess of the 27. There was one change that's in there and that was me noticing a typo that I made, which is spelling initiatives correctly. And on the second page under one article 45. I suggest. On three a, I suggest deleting the last clause was the executive secretary regularly hands. Which pertains to me. Okay. Okay. So I would delete that clause. Does anybody have anything else for the minutes of 27. Okay. All right. All in favor of approving the minutes as revived. Minutes of three 27 as a by, say aye. Aye. Any opposed. Any extensions. All right. Can you keep your hands up for a second? Thanks. Okay. No against. Was extending one to three. Those minutes have been approved now. So good thing that's March 29th. But you have any. And then grant. I wasn't here. So I have to abstain, but item for the highway budget. Okay. So the budget is maintenance and patches of the rest is in DPW. Confused. I'm not sure. This is the DCW. Yeah, I can. Just that the, The most of our roads and sidewalks are in the capital budget. And not. Okay. So maybe it should be correct. Rest in capital. Yeah. Okay. I'm just confused. Yeah. Okay. So instead of resting DPW resting capital budget in capital. Yeah. Okay. Yes. Thank you. So. Where this is too. To see. Part of it says. Yard waste. Yard waste gets composted, but through the public. And then we public composted. So I looked at my notes. From long ago. Verified this was Sandy the other day. We incinerated. Yeah. No. No. Really? Sandy says. Wow. And my notes from 11 years ago. You used to go hard. Well, I know. Well, I mean, it might be something so much to verify, but I mean. Time manager. Says it. I didn't want to say anything. We burn all those leaves. That's kind of, yeah. That's crazy. It's probably the most efficient. But I can't say it's, but we should verify it. But that's what the. That's why I thought it was important to bring up. I know what to do about minutes, but. We could just remove it from the minutes. Yeah. But I suggest we remove that last sentence from. To see. W working group can. Get some more information about that. Yes. Yeah. Other. I said, what's the difference? I don't know. I have a motion. Second. All right. All those in favor of proving the revised manager, hand 16 and the affirmative. Any opposed. Abstaining. I think that's been. Through. Fire department budget. To vote. You want to. Sure. Just small amount of movement. Drop. Drop by $1,000, $800,000. Most are related to finalizing the master care. Salary. The benefits, which was still in negotiations back in February. You know, I had a meeting with the chair, Allen, you know, check the, you know, I missed anything. Because I know you spoke with Julie. Last month, but. With that. Changing that primary vision. The. Budget goes from, uh, and initially approved back in February or 8,000, 6,504, 593. To, uh, Now the final budget is 8,000, 652, to approve fire taxation total of $8,652,782. Second. Questions, discussion, comments? Is everyone with that? Hit that. All right. Everyone who's in favor of the fire department provides budget, say aye. Aye. Any opposed? All right, that budget passes. Let's take a vote on the historical commission. Is there a motion? So moved. 8700, 8,000, 7800. Second to that. Second. Any discussion? Is there a specific law? It's under commission and committee. Anyone have anything to say about it? All right, let's take a vote. All in favor of appropriating a $700 for the historical commission, say aye. Any opposed? Any abstentions? All right, that passes unanimously. Composting, have you been in touch? Yeah, have you been in touch? So I sent it, I actually sent it today. I sent it late. I think I CCDU in this as well, but it was late. Yeah. And so they did get it. So I just want to make sure that they know that there's still hurdles to come. Yes, I think I made that current in the note and we can work that out. That'd be good. So both Annie and I made an additional comment and an additional email just to. I suggest they haven't already said what you were thinking. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, and that was our first one. I said that in my email and I also said, Tom meeting is going to ask you about implementation. We were only the money. Tom meeting, I want to know what the plan is. All right, thank you. All right, 250th celebration, I think. Tara, sense, and you can pull up too. Yeah, you can pull that up. And it's that meeting going on right now? What's that coming up? So some history. Angela, he used to be a finance community member herself. The select board is looking for $25,000. Two to five thousand to hire a consultant. $25,000 for branding and marketing. And she may have listed other things that money might be spent on matching funds for grants. Website has offered to help as he wanted to do. Honorary for speakers, funds to community organizations to partner events, sponsored programs for the schools, advertising. So that is a description of what the select board and I would imagine the tourism committee is planning to spend $25,000 on. So is there a motion to support this to appropriate $25,000 for the select board? 250th town celebration. I move that we support the approval of $25,000 for an audience of $250,000, which is the $250,000 celebration. Is there a second? Second. All right, discussion. Grant. What is the answer to her question about retaining the funds that I understand? Do they go back to the fund that year? Can they keep it for the city? Would funds remaining revert to the general fund on June 30, 2024, or would they be retained for the committee's use? Good question. I don't know the answer to that. And I would imagine I don't know if they would know the answer. Is there a warrant? I think if it's not a warrant article, it refers to the general funds. But doesn't this come under, I think there was a warrant. This is a 40 cent celebration this year. OK, so it's a warrant article. So they can maintain the funds until such time as they close out the project. And then after each one, they're not subject to the general fund to turn back to pre-cash. Correct. Do you have anything else, Grant? No, no question. This isn't a one time. I guess the distinction I'm trying to make may not make a difference. Is that it's not a one time thing for the 250 celebration that's considered seed money in there. And we're looking for some down the road. That's the distinction I see them making. Carolyn, when is the 250? I think it's in 2026. I don't know the answer to that. I think it's in 25. 25? OK. They may be asking for this for a couple of years. I don't hear what you're saying if you're saying anything. 75. April 1975. So they may ask for this two years in a row or for an additional amount next year. They may. They may keep asking for it. They're looking for seed. Well, yes. Correct. I guess the issue is do they warrant the money now for this next fiscal year? Carolyn, how much money? OK. So thank you, Madam Chair. I recall that we had a similar celebration several years ago. I can't remember exactly where it was. I think it was after the millennium, but some other interim celebration. And Raleigh Chappett, late Raleigh Chappett, was the chair of that group. And he came to the finance committee and gave him some amount of money, but he raised everything else. I think we gave him less than $25,000. And he raised a considerable amount more than that and never came back asking for more money. It seems that one of the uses of this money would be to use this mansion funds for grants. And maybe there's an expectation or a hope that they're going to probably use leverage money for additional grants. Any other questions, comments, anything? All right. Well, there's a motion and it's been seconded. Let's take a vote. All those in favor, reach your hand. Any opposed? All right, that's me. I got some information about the Stratton State School's warrant article. And this is what the director of planning has said, the pertinent part. At this stage of the project, Maschio is behind schedule and has not provided us with a takings plan or inventory of required easements. Thus we can hire an appraiser to establish the cost of the takings. We will come back either the fall or next spring with a detailed budget, so we're not looking for the money now. I think it'll be appropriate for a no-action vote on this. No action. So I can. Any discussion? All in favor of no-action vote, say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Did you say Mas. Yes, I did. All right. I think, John, is that everything? Actually, today we got that letter from Julie about some things. And she just sort of offhand said that number 47 in denification updated numbers 10,000 810 instead of 12,035. So we probably should revoke that as article 47. I'll put it in the email. So we voted 12,035. What is she saying? 10,810. That that was in the email from this morning. Well, what is the will of the committee? Should we vote Julie's new lesser money? Or. Find out. Explanation. Charlie's. We vote for less money. Second. Session. All right. All the babies. They say aye. Opposed. 17 for. No against my extension. Right. So I thought you were counting. So I think that. Everything except. Are we expecting a new number from. Don't have it tonight. Okay. But we're expecting a reduction. Well, I was. Finish. I just want to clear up. We're going to talk about. Also the things about men and man. Tonight. Cover everything else. Cover. And unless there's something outstanding. Then let's. Did we do the fiscal stability stabilization fund? Or an article 60. We did the long term stabilization. The fiscal stability stabilization fund is what we used to zero out. The bottom line. At the end of the day. So until everything else is voted. We can vote it, but we can't do a final vote. Okay. I can tell you what it needs to be right now. Okay. But the only thing left is Bennett man. Yeah. That's it. So it's the number that you have right now. Including the minute me a number that we have. $597,000. $781. The seven. Five nine. Five nine seven seven seven eight. Okay. I can tell you what it needs to be right now. But the only thing left is Bennett man. Right. Okay. So. I think we're going to start with the. Thank you. No, it's to be appropriated. Not to be. To be appropriated from the. To. Is that included? We just quoted. Yes. Yes. Well, let's, let's talk about. Go ahead. I'll. See the floor. You. Tell us about. So hopefully y'all received a memo from Dr. Dawson about the field funding, which Tara posted to SharePoint today and which came in email. Before we talk about that, I'd like to talk about the assessment. My understanding is that, similar to us, we've received additional spending in the different budget is already out. And there's a floor budget in the ceiling budget. I think the government is the ceiling of the legislatures of the floor or something like that. We don't have a final number. And so what the superintendent in the business manager saying is we're not going to adjust the assessment until we have the final number. So I think we have two options tonight. One is to vote this as we'll report at county. And the other is to vote this number and possibly do a revote during county and present that new number to county. We vote this number and it gets reduced. And the money that we would not spend will roll into free cash. It doesn't get spent on the budget or anything like that. It simply makes it easier. I don't, I don't know what we would have traditionally done. I don't know, Tara, do you know what we would do in this case? Well, we did a little report. And the number could affect what we take out of the stabilization. So perhaps what we should do is both remember the way it is. Stabilization fund and then amend it. If, if there's no reason to limit when we get to the county. And if there's no reason to amend it, then you will simply roll more money in cash or not take money out of stabilization. I think the additional aid is in the neighborhood of a million dollars, which would reduce us by 350 400, which is then reduces what we would take out of stabilization. So I'm going to move that we vote well before I make the motion to memo about the field is basically them saying a lot of things. We don't, you know, in addition to what they have said about how they have these future plans with a partner to complete the field renovations, which will then end up in a long term lease with that partner that will mean that they don't have the funds in rental for a long time. They're saying this year they're projected rental amount, what they're going to earn on rentals is under $250,000 and we'll cover the maintenance of the fields but not and they are not budgeting on anything else. So that's what the memo says. This isn't unexpected I got a call from the superintendent 10 days ago to tell me that the school committee had made a decision and they think I said that earlier. You know, our, our option here, our third option for voting tonight is to, you know, in protest refuse to pass this budget. But I don't know what else we could do. I mean, I suppose we could choose our own number and voted. But the fact of the matter is that if six other towns vote the budget, we're obligated. So, you know, it's kind of up to all of you. I think Dr. Dawson honestly does not want to have a bad relationship with us. And that she honestly did not know that this global obligation had been made by her predecessor. And but you know, that's not the other committee. I'm Charlie then Dean. So, I think this is a very disappointing turn of events. However, Dr. Dawson is that's is new to speak and this was not recorded somewhere. There's no way that she could have known about it so I don't think we can reasonably put this on on her shoulders and I and if she didn't know that maybe one of these cases where I have to put Dylan didn't tell the board. I mean the school committee. So, I also think that I don't remember the numbers exactly, but you may. I think if they're only getting 200,000 hours and I think even that capital budget number that they had to recover. I think the whole thing is 700,000 a year or something like that. So fairly substantial. So, so my, my recommendation is that we sort of bury this, except the budget as proposed and this lesson learned. Dean. Can I make a motion and you're okay for make a motion to comment. It's a three part. Three promotion. I vote that I move that we pass the first thing that we pass the budget as presented. Second, I move that if a subsequent number comes in because of the stated change that makes the budget less than it is. So that's my motion. I think that the book is printed that we authorize the vice chair of the chair to just fix it administratively. Then third, if we get to town meeting and it's lower 200,000 is kind of real money. Right. But we authorize the chair to just floor amended. And I can't imagine that that. So that's my motion. Can you repeat that last part. We authorized the chair after the book is printed to floor to amend it on the floor of town meetings. So I think that that's my motion. So that's my motion. I'm going to go ahead and pass the next part. And I'm going to go ahead and pass the next part of the book. Which is the first one I've said every year when I'm here, which is if you don't trust the chair and the vice chair to amend a budget properly, you should vote them out of being a chair and vice chair. This is not the moment to do that. Not moment to not trust. Which ice chair. Are you. Right. Looking at each other. And look, Secondly, I would say, I would agree with. I would say that I agree with Charlie. I think, you know, talk, actually talking a couple of minute about people who I knew from when we were doing that exclusion campaign, our mere delay in voting has been received loud and clear. Like, you know, I agree with you, we don't want to have a better relationship with a new superintendent. I think they, I think they screwed up by not having a transition plan. Like our school department actually did a good job by putting our superintendent on this like hard time, like her DM stipend thing where she was like part of the team, like in mid-November, right? They didn't do that. So I think they're less learned, but they kind of missed that one. But otherwise, I think we don't blow the whole thing up over it. So I have a couple of questions on this. So I was reading the agreement and I believe in terms of passing the budgets collectively, it's a, it's a weighted. Yes. It is weighted. So conceivably, it doesn't look like we're going to do it, but conceivably, Arlington and one of the other big towns could, could actually block. So. No, I'm not sure it's weighted in terms of our time meeting votes. Am I wrong? I think that's the only thing that's not weighted. Yeah, I think that's our budget votes are not weighted. Everything else. No, the budget was weighted. So I think the school can be weighted. I think the school committee vote is weighted. Our school committee has a weighted vote. When it goes to the towns to ratify, for lack of a better word, that's a point. Each town gets one vote. Yeah. And the budget itself is weighted. That was the question. And the other question, which since we're talking about minute now, I was just curious of the long range plan. It's always three and a half percent in the following years, even though that's never, it's always way more than that. And I know we talked a lot about special ed in our public schools. Should it be seven or 6.5? We're really trying to get that number right. I'm just curious why is it three and a half percent in the projections when it's always going to be more than that? I'm not sure that I know the answer to that question. In the larger scheme of things, the way that the five year plan works, because we are so conservative on revenue, it's never been, it's never been a thing that has caused us to have to cut some other budget in order to stay in balance or meet our obligations. Does that make any sense? Well, it's just weird to me to be up on the special ed side. It's no precise, it's like, well, good enough. Can I make an observation? So I think part of the challenge with the many man budget is the school budget doesn't actually go up these large numbers. Our share of the budget goes up because our percentage of children goes up. And it's kind of that, right? I agree with you. It's like it's never been right. But we have the enrollment school that goes on with the four year growing average, so we know something. Oh wow, yeah, you're right. That's a really good point. Well, so we can raise that on one range planning. It's if they want a man to plan to live like some different growing average. Alan Johnson and John. Yeah, I was just going to suggest that there would be an excellent question for the town manager when he comes out on the 12th to present the override, which is all wrapped up in the long run. Yes, thank you. I would like to ask if he would amend his motion to have any edits reduce the overestabilization fund number. Because if we personally, it'll never go to free cash because we'll never get the money back from amendment. And so we should keep it at the beginning. And the way to do that is to reduce the override stabilization. I'm following what Dean's suggesting that there wasn't a case for if it comes in over. Oh, I'm going to freak out if it does. We don't have to worry about that. You know, generally the way that the legislature and the governor's budget, whoever comes out with their budget, first creates the floor. I think the governor creates the cap. Anyways, they come out with two different budgets and one of them is in four and one of them is in ceiling. They come out at different times and then they negotiate usually into the middle. So what we know when the governor's budget comes out is we know that things are not going to go up or down yet the floor. Yeah. So we are confident at this point that the only thing that could happen here is that they could adjust this downward once they have it firmly established what their increase in aid is that is in the general budget came out first. Yeah, it's it's not that easy to understand because it's political. And this, this is a good point to say that when Tommy starts the finance committee meets at 730, I don't know where. It's not going to be the lion that you just said. It's not going to be out. We will meet between 730 and eight every night before town meeting unless it's clearly unnecessary so that we are able to come in at the last minute that something pops up. So, so people are expected to be available for these last minute necessary emergency boats of finance committee. It's something that comes up so that I get before the coming and say finance committee supports or opposes something. Jennifer, can you hand up and then count? Oh, I just wanted to speak to the issue of the governor's budget versus the other budget. So it's it just has to practice that it's not so that everybody can look good. There's nothing set in stone like it could change. It just never has. Yeah, there's a legislator wants to look more generous and the governor and everyone just wants to look good. So they that's the governor steps the number to give it away with the room. Yeah. Carol, did I hear you correctly that we don't have the lion's room? He says conditions there are worsening. And so we should not be using it and then no one should be using it. Oh, it's falling. So we'll figure out an alternative plan in the end town hall and maybe the senior center. That's what he suggests. Yeah, they have tops all over the floor in the lion's room. So it's too dangerous to go in there. But there are rooms like the planning has a room in the management office. They have rooms that accommodate us for a short period. Yeah, yeah. Could we start over? Tara and I will work on what you say. Other questions, comments on minute and. All right, I just understand the timing of this. We need to put a number in Allen's publication that for the fight. That's what the issue is. It can't go with a blank number. What's the last date for that? Roughly. Tor. There's a story. We'd like to get the printed copy out in plenty of time. All the other things of time. The energy report and capital planning are coming together next Tuesday. I think we've been given a deadline by Swifty printing to get stuff in their printers. We'll all go in one packet to say post it. I just have 30. If we don't do that, then electronic copy can go out any time we want to. And on the first night of town meeting, there'll be a big stack of blue reports from the finance committee for people to read. Okay. Well, in that context, whatever the finance committee, give it the finance committee can take it away. Absolutely. Now, the other thing is we don't know when we'll get a new number if we get any. So if this are a question that we know there's a new number next week, that's one thing, but we don't, we don't know when that's coming. So I feel like we should approve a number and then we can amend. Thank you. Other hands, everybody. Judge. That impact other than Minuteman also. The overall governor's budget and state a coming to. Yes, it's a big change. That our time manager's philosophy is that once that governor's budget is out, we can count on that number at least. And the governor's number of state aid minus the state take is probably much more stable than say local receipts or, you know, other things because it's all on the revenue side. We don't know the revenue side. I think that's why we aren't doubted about anything else. Yeah, I mean, that's what we talked about the other night is that if our revenue estimates, if our revenue comes in higher than the estimated, we don't get to suddenly go, Oh, everybody gets 10% more in our budget. That will seem to be cash and then get some type of. It's one of the ways. Yeah. All right. And there's been teams motion as amended. It's been seconded. Susan further questions or discussion. All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed. That's eight nine four zero eight nine seven. Eight nine three two nine one six. I'm saying that again. Eight nine three two nine one six. Now that's from the slides in the telephone point. Let me move on to the back. Eight nine three two nine one two. Eight nine three two nine one six. Yeah, that's the number on her slides. Oh, so that's the number we'll go in. Yeah. And so then we have one last thing. Okay. Okay. I'm moving for article 60. Five hundred eighty nine thousand eight hundred dollars. Second. Let's be appropriated from. What's that number five? Five eight nine eight zero zero. From the phone. 30 seconds. Second. Any exception? That's this is the motion of balance there again. Does this need to be amended if we that's included in the motion? If we change anything else we'll have to reboot this one. Reboot it's ten bucks. Yeah, any budget. And is that going towards the FY 24 budget or free cash? From the stabilization fund to which? In the general fund. Okay. Right. I suppose that's the common motion. Let's just fill in the numbers. Okay. Can we do that right now? That's probably a good one. Can you ask the chair? I've just realized to overstep my authority by saying that. All right. Let's take a vote on the stabilization fund. Unless there's any questions or comments. Discussion on favor say aye. Any opposed? I move that in the course of putting the budget book together. That if the vice chair and chair by any administrative. Rebalances. Accounts. That the finance committee author. What you don't know. Sorry. If I'm putting the book together. Chair and the vice chair. Find any accounts that are out of balance by just ours. Like for example. The offset to the water sewer fund is off. 5,000. Right. That we that we authorized the chair and the vice chair to fix it administratively without having to come back to the full committee for a vote. The questions. Comments. Discussion issues. All right. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Now we Allen Jones and I entire are still waiting for head counts. Double check your budgets and your numbers. If you have last year's report in the back, you can see why the head counts are important. Because the finance may list a number of accounts. For example, how many maintenance craftsmen are in the natural resources budget. And there's a full time position or half time position. How many patrol officers it's and people do look at those. What I explained to someone is the committee doesn't vote in head counts. The bottom lines. But we want to make sure is a staff member is looking at this. We don't want anyone to be concerned or surprised. Like, oh, they will eliminate a position. We don't want that to happen. And there will be people who will say, well, why has the police department increased by five? And maybe they haven't. So the bigger budgets. That can help us. So we won't unless something comes up within next day or two. We won't have a meeting Wednesday. We won't have a meeting Monday. But right now the time manager is scheduled to meet with us on the 12th. So we will meet on the 12th to talk about the break. So that's the first time I saw them. So even if something comes up, I think we should. So we will meet next on 12th. And that should be it. And so the percent. Anything else anyone has? Motion to adjourn.
